wisely and loyally remained in their home community and are

one year and was made manager of the Rio Grande Oil Company 
here on January 1, 1928 and still occupies that position.  
By his uniform courtesy and accommodation he has gained a host 
of loyal friends, has built up a flattering business and is 
regarded as an enterprising and up-to-date business man.

On July 3, 1918 Mr. Owens was united in marriage to Ida
